His problem of being unable to use his Kobo in the case of a reset on the go remains. Considering that in most instances where people set up their Kobo they will have to load their books and would have to connect to a computer/internet to do so anyway, I don't think Kobo will really bother adding an option to set it up without internet.

But my point being, this problem is not specific to the Glo, but to basically ALL of the Kobo products (original, Wifi, Touch, and Glo).
